CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, LONDON - The London School Board having acquired the site of Trinity Congregational Church, Hanbury-street, Mile End, a new building has been erected at The Broadway, Victoria Park. The church is of red brick, and yellow terra-cotta dressings. It has been planned to permit the old gallery front and other fittings, including pews, from Hanbury-street to be used. The old organ (by Willis), with modern improvements, has been rebuilt, and several of the old stained-glass windows have been replaced. The memorial to Dr. Tyler, who was for long the minister in Hanbury-street, has been re-erected. The seating accommodation is for 800. The school, with entrances in Rutland-road, which runs along- side the church, has accommodation for 300 persons. The buildings are heated with hot water radiators, and ventilated on Honeyman’s system, and lighted by electricity The architect was Mr. P. Morley Horder. [Builder 11 January 1902 page 47]
